His obituary captured his essenceit said he was a one-of-a-kind iconoclast . Yes, he was. As Bill Townsell wrote back then, he was the real Worlds Most Interesting Man. And even after 5 years I still miss him and think about him all the time. There will never be another Wrobel.
RIP Jimmy.....

Hi Vicki: We are so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. Jim was so much fun to be around. He fixed great meals for us over at Agness and we were so happy to finally meet you and your sister last summer. I hope you can join us again some summer. It is very relaxing there for us. I am just so sorry that Jim couldn't conquer his problems - and I am sure you were a deep source of comfort to him for so long. I hope you can find solace in that thought. Please feel free to call us at anytime if we can do anything to help. Sincerely, JoAnn and Mike Thompson (Judy Oach's aunt)

Vicki,
I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. Please accept my condolences. Jim worked with me at the Prescott office. I have fond memories of him. He had boundless energy and a contagious enthusiasm for all that he did. He was always the competitor, whether at work, on the golf course,or playing a friendly game of pool. He was a unique and unforgettable person. I will certainly miss him.

Vicki,
I'm so sorry to hear the news of Jim's death. We worked together for many years in various places. He was a warm and engaging person who took his work - but not himself - seriously. I have many fond memories of Jim. I hope you find comfort in knowing many people cared deeply for him.

Vicki, please accept my sincere condolences. Jim and I spent some precious times together during our careers with SSA. He was always up for a fun time. During a recent SSA golf tournament we shared a golf cart and lots of laughs. I will miss his laughter and wit. I am sorry I never got to share a fishing adventure with him. God bless you and family.

I can't express how saddened I am to hear about the loss of my dear freind Jimmy. What a great friendship we shared through nearly three decades. Karen and I will always have little reminders of your wonderful husband in our daily lives. So sad he is gone but happy we knew him.

Vicki:
While nothing we can do or say would ever lessen or lighten your loss, take some solace in knowing that we share the same emotions. As countless will document in the days to come, there has never been anyone like Jim in any of all or our lives. Whether anyone wants to remember stories related to work, sports, or community service, they will always remember Jim as the penultimate participator in any event. Hopefully, someday someone will say we lived our lives to the extent that Jim did his. He has made a huge impact in the life of anyone he ever met and sure will be missed.

Many years ago, Jim introduced me to Dos Equis. More recently, that company introduced a series of commercials which I have just realized were patterned after Jim's life. Farewell, and thank you for being in my life, to the real World's Most Interesting Man.

Mona and I just found out this evening that your beloved husband and one of our best friends has passed. We are so sorry and our prayers are with you in this sad time. He will be sorely missed not only by us, but everyone who has ever come in touch with him. He was a very very kind gentleman. I will miss the golf trips to Las vegas and the times we had together.

Dear Vicki,
I was shocked and saddened to hear that my old compatriot and friend was gone. We had known each other for over 35 years and worked together in the Redding District twice! I was his DM and I hope he always considered me his friend. My best to you. Know that he will be missed.

Jim's great advice to me was to never give away your ethics and your pride. He was one of a kind and I thank him for his time and his humble advice. He will be missed.

We were extremely saddened to hear of Jim's untimely death. He was one of the most unique and likable people I've had the honor of calling a friend--truly one of a kind and he will be sorely missed by many, many people.
